Know what you need? Go straight to it. This small practice is not small. It is an act of self-definition.
First, one slow breath. Then choose what fits best. One short practice, a few minutes, and you will feel the difference.
You ask me how to rise. I tell you, you already hold the tools.
Thought, word and deed. These are the tools of creation, and you are using them every moment, whether you know it or not.
Until now you have been creating by default, thinking the same thoughts, and wondering why nothing changed.
Now create on purpose.
This small practice is not small. It is an act of self-definition. In doing it, you announce who you are, and who you choose to become.
You stand at a crossroads. Every road is open to you. Choose the one that climbs.
And know this: you cannot fail. Perfection is in the process.
The genie in the lamp says, “Your wish is my command.”
The genie of the universe says something greater:
“Your being is my command. Your feelings, your thoughts, your words, your deeds, the sum of who you are, this is what I grant.”
So it does not hear what you ask for. It hears what you are.
You ask for plenty, then whisper, “It’s not enough,” and the genie hears not enough, and gives you more of not enough.
You hold a grudge, and it gives you more to forgive. You live in fear, and it shows you more to fear. Not as punishment, only as an answer.
Until now, you could not steady your thoughts from one moment to the next, so the genie heard a thousand voices, and you wondered why life was as it was.
Now you can speak with one voice.
When you forgive here, you show the universe, “I am forgiving.” When you send light to another, you show it, “I have light to give.”
For you can only give what you have, and the genie answers, “Yes, you are this. Have more of it.”
Every practice is a demonstration. Every demonstration is a command. This is your first clear word to the universe.
Begin, and let the genie hear who you truly are.
There are moments when the mind becomes a storm. In those moments most of us do not know where we are, and because we do not know where we are, we do not know how to move.
The Map of Being is not a map of roads. It is a map of the states of consciousness we live in from moment to moment, and of how to move through them toward peace.
Picture a mountain. At the valley floor is Level One, Terror and Collapse. At the summit is Level Twenty, Unity Consciousness, where the separation between you and God dissolves.
Between them are fear, worry, hope, gratitude, joy, love and peace. You will visit many levels in a single day. That is not failure, it is being human. The map does not judge. It only shows you where you stand.
Low on the mountain, you are the thought. The storm is you. At Level Eight, Observer Awakening, something shifts: you begin to watch the thought instead of being swept away by it.
You can only have one thought at a time, and you can choose the next one. That is where all the climbing begins.
Wherever you are, you could be lower. You are already on the mountain.
Read from the summit down, the way light falls. Tap any level to read more.
Some people, places and situations no longer serve your highest good, and sometimes the tie that binds us is to our own old story. Before you cut the ties, you bless them. Then you both go free.
These blessings echo Ho’oponopono, the ancient Hawaiian practice of reconciliation: I’m sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you.
Every day, people, companies and the news hand us parcels of anger, insult, fear and gloom. When we accept them, we suffer: we replay them, we ask how they could, we plan how to get back at them. But a gift only becomes yours if you take it.
It can feel as if the world is run by forces far beyond our reach, and we are at their mercy. We are not. In every moment you choose which timeline you step into, through your attention, your intention and your next thought. Choose it now, deliberately.
Every timeline is built one step at a time. What is one small thing you will do today that belongs in this timeline?
A thought becomes a word, a word becomes a deed, and a deed repeated becomes who you are. A commitment is a seed. Plant it today, tend it each day, and watch who you become.
Choose one to three. Small and real beats big and forgotten.
The mind drifts from thought to thought so fast that we never notice which ones keep coming back. For a few minutes, sit quietly and watch. Each time a thought arrives, tap what it is about. At the end, you will see exactly what has been occupying your mind.
Sitting on your shoulder is a little self that never stops talking: worrying, criticising, replaying, warning. It is not you. It is only a voice. Let it have its say, then brush it off your shoulder.
Or swipe it off your shoulder with your finger.
A song on repeat, a TV show replaying, a news story that will not leave you alone. It is just a channel left on. You can switch it off.
Or turn the knob yourself.
In a dream at night, every person and every place is your own creation, and if you do not steer the dream, it steers you. Life is a dream too: your higher self has dreamt you into it. Wake up inside it, take the pen, and dream on purpose.
Say it to yourself: This is my dream. I created all of it. I can change it.
Now step forward in time, to a day when all of this has already happened. Look back, and remember it. Write it in the past tense, as a memory.
Place what you are bringing into being in the box. Each time a new detail comes to you, in a daydream, a meditation or out of the blue, add it. The vision grows clearer, and what is clear can be created. See it as already done.
Up to four pictures per creation, kept on this device.
The foundation of your whole life is who you believe you are. The same event lands very differently on someone who sees themselves as a victim than on someone who knows they are a powerful co-creator with God. You do not discover who you are. You choose it, moment by moment.
Decide now who you will be in the moments that test you. Choose a moment, then your response, or write your own.
Before the world gets its say, you get yours. Three minutes, six small steps: where you are, what you are grateful for, who you choose to be, the timeline you walk, your seed for today, and one mission of kindness.
When you feel low, jumping straight to joy rarely works. The mind will not believe it. But it will believe a thought just one rung higher. Find where you are on the ladder, then climb one rung at a time, only as far as feels true.
Before sleep, gather the harvest of the day. Where were you on the Map? What went well? What will you release so it does not follow you into the night? Over the weeks, you will see yourself climbing.
Fear and faith ask the same question, “What if?”, and simply imagine different answers. Both are imagination. Write the fear, then turn the card over and choose which version you will live in.
Breathe slowly through your heart, about five seconds in and five seconds out, while you feel real appreciation for someone or something. Heart, breath and mind fall into rhythm, and the whole body calms.
Your future self is already living the life you are creating. Let them write to you today: what came true, what they are grateful for, and what they want you to know right now.
The ancient Hawaiian practice of reconciliation, in four phrases: I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you. Hold a person, a situation or yourself in mind, and let the phrases wash over it, round after round, for as long as you need.
Inner work becomes real when it goes out into the world. Draw today’s card: one small act of kindness or service. Accept it, do it, and come back to mark it complete.
Sit comfortably. Let your shoulders drop. For one minute, let light do the work.
What you wish for others, you call to yourself. Think of someone, perhaps someone less fortunate than you, and send them what you most want for your own life.
Pick up to three. Naming a feeling already creates a little space around it.
Choose a feeling, then rate how intense it is.
Not quite right? ·
You stand at a crossroads. Every road is open to you. Choose the one that climbs.
Write what is weighing on you. Watch it fill the balloon. Then let it go.
Write the worry on a stone. Then fling it into the sea. Swipe it, or press throw.
Blame, shame, the old story. Write it down and give it to the fire. Fire turns what is heavy into light.
You are not the cloud. You are the sky. Breathe with the light, and if a thought appears, name it and watch it drift by.
Name ten things you are grateful for, as fast as they come. Big or tiny. Your breath. Clean water. Someone's laugh.
Worry is a capable mind with nowhere to go. Let's give it somewhere.
What's the worry?
Can you do something meaningful about this in the next two hours?
What is the one smallest action you can take?
When will you give this thought your attention?
Say it aloud yourself. The nervous system relaxes when the mind trusts a concern has not been abandoned, only wisely deferred.
At the higher levels, we rise by lifting others. Name a person, a place, or the whole world, and send it light.
Be honest. Any change at all counts.
Tap any that are here now.
